THE IRIS NEWS 
To briefly describe all the varieties of Iris in our 
Gardens would take several issues of “Iris News.” 
We will meet the price of any grower on any variety 
not listed here. Include same with your order. 
The following are descriptions of a few hundred 
varieties of lris growing in quantity in our fields. The 
prices are adjusted to meet the desire of those who 
wish to beautify the home surroundings at little cost. 
Here Are Hundreds 
of varieties of Iris from which to select the colors to 
fae your garden picture. The Master Artist gave the 
iris so many hues, tints and shades of all colors, that 
it is rightly called the Rainbow Flower. Some flower 
lovers refer to the Iris as The Garden Orchid. The Iris 
has a wider color range than any other flower, 
in answer to many questions the following information is given 
zegarding the description of Irises A self is an Iris of uniform 
eolor; a bicolor has standards of one color and falls of a deeper 
shade of the same color; a variegata has falls of red, brown or red- 
purple and standards of some shade of yellow, a plicata is a light or 
white fiower marked or stippled with a darker shade particularly 
on the margins; an amoena has white standards and colored falls ; 
a blend is a combination of two or more colors. 
The letter S. refers to the standards or upright top petals; F. 
refers to the falls which are lower or hanging petals. 
You can have a complete garden with Irises alone, but you cannot 
have a complete garden without them.
